[QUOTE="Paul_c, post: 402738, member: 44875"] You have to inform your car insurance company on diagnosis of T2 even if your are only diet & exercise controlled. They will record that fact that you have notified them. Had you not notified them and had a claim made against you, then they would invalidate your policy for failing to notify them of a material fact that they need to know about. DVLA for T2 diabetics only require notification for T2 private car drivers controlled by drugs that can raise your insulin and give you a risk of having a hypo. Everything is different if you drive a commercial vehicle... The best advice IS to view the information for yourself on the DVLA website and ignore random posts on web forums. [url=https://www.gov.uk/diabetes-driving]https://www.gov.uk/diabetes-driving[/url] see even I was not quite right on the subject as there seems to have been a change made since I became diabetic. and I've discovered I will have to fill in a form if I wish to carry on doing any C1, C1E, D1 or D1E driving again as a vocation (I have these items on my licence as I took my test a long time ago) [/QUOTE]
